Rr. Schulz et C. Rossel, A BEETLE-LIKE LOW-TEMPERATURE SCANNING TUNNELING MICROSCOPE IN ULTRA-HIGH-VACUUM, Physica. B, Condensed matter, 194, 1994, pp. 389-390
We have designed a new beetle-like scanning tunneling microscope (STM)
that operates under ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) conditions in the tempera
ture range from 300 K down to 7 K. An external magnetic field of up to
8 Tesla can be applied with a removable superconducting magnet. We de
scribe the UHV system with the STM, the cryostat and the superconducti
ng magnet.
